Overview
Paraguay's primary enrollment stood at 89.35% in 2025, a decline of +0.09pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 89.35% by 2025. Paraguay ranked 154th globally.
Paraguay's primary enrollment rate has experienced a significant decline over the past few decades. Starting from a high of 104.80% in 1970, the rate peaked at 123.41% in 1998, but has since declined to 89.35% in 2025, ranking 154 globally. This downward trend is largely comparable to that of Comoros, which has maintained a slightly lower enrollment rate throughout the observed period. The current enrollment rate is also close to Malaysia's 89.47%. The decline in primary enrollment may be attributed to various factors, including economic and social challenges. However, with a growing emphasis on education and economic development in Paraguay, there is potential for the primary enrollment rate to improve in the coming years. A significant investment in education infrastructure and policies aimed at increasing accessibility and quality could potentially reverse the current trend and contribute to a more stable and higher enrollment rate in the future.
